Running XP Home which does not come with IIS. In response to advice received on this
forum I installed the Cassini web server to serve in place of IIS. See here for Cassini:
http://www.asp.net/Projects/Cassini/Download/Default.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1
Trying to create an asp.net project in VS 2003. When I try to create the problem I
get this error:
"The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project
folder at 'http://localhost/WebApplication1' cannot be opened with the path
'\\MYMACHINE\wwwroot$\WebApplication1'. The error returned was:
Unable to create Web project 'WebApplication1'. The UNC share
'\\MYMACHINE\wwwroot$\WebApplication1' does not exist or you do not have access.
It asks me to retry with a different file share path. Well, can I then specific a
real file path rather than a URL path? Why did it fail?
When I started Cassini I gave it:
d:\mainpage
as the directory to start in. Should I create a subdir called WebApplication1 in
that mainpage directory?
It also gives me another option: "Try to open the project with FrontPage Server
Extensions". Should I do that instead?
